First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Woodburn, Oregon, at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, an annual event celebrating tulips and other elements of Dutch culture (such as wooden shoes).
About the Tulip Blossoms set: According to the USPS, the set was issued to celebrate spring and the popularity of tulips across America. Each of the 10 stamp designs pictures a close-up of a tulip from photographs by Denise Ippolito. The flowers fill nearly the entire frame of each stamp.
History the stamp represents: Holland, Michigan, is home to one of America’s biggest and most famous tulip festivals. Tulip Time is held every spring and lasts eight days. In addition to flower viewings, the celebration includes parades, traditional Dutch dances, art installations, concerts, and more.
Tulips were first planted in Holland, Michigan, in 1928, when the city brought in 100,000 bulbs from the Netherlands. When the tulips bloomed the following spring, the city held its first festival. It started out as a flower-viewing event, but quickly became a celebration of Dutch culture. The festival was put on hold during World War II, but in 1946, it returned in all its glory. In modern times, it has hosted musical acts and is sponsored by local radio stations and businesses.
Today, Tulip Time includes approximately six million flowers planted around the city. There are tulips along city streets, parks, and near popular destinations such as Dutch Village and Windmill Island Gardens. And, of course, there are plenty to see at Veldheer Tulip Gardens, a local tulip farm. The festival is held around the second week of May and is visited by upwards of one million people from across the globe every year. It is the perfect way to spend a spring day in Holland, Michigan.
